  2. TESTING THE MUSCLES

  3. Greatextensor of the leg Femoralnerve THIGH & POPLITEAL FOSSA Quadricepsfemoris • Performedwiththeperson in thesupinepositionwiththekneepartlyflexed. • Personextendskneeagainstresistance.

  4. Extension@ hip joint Flexion@ knee joint Tibialnerve THIGH & POPLITEAL FOSSA Hamstringmuscles • Personflexes his leg against resistance. • Normally, these muscles—especially their tendons on each side of the popliteal fossa—should be prominent as they bend the knee.

  5. LEG Dorsiflexesankle& invertsfoot Deepfibularnerve Tibialisanterior • Theperson is askedtostand on theheelsordorsiflexthefootagainstresistance. • Ifnormal, itstendon can be seenandpalpated.

  8. LEG Plantarflexesankle; raises heel during walking; flexes leg at knee joint (soleus;steadiesleg on foot) Tibialnerve Tricepssurae • Thefoot is plantarflexedagainstresistance (e.g., by “standing on thetoes,” in whichcase body weight [gravity] providesresistance). • Ifnormal, thecalcanealtendonandtricepssurae can be seenandpalpated.

  9. LEG Flexesgreattoe at alljoints; weaklyplantarflexesankle; supportsmediallongitudinalarch Tibialnerve Flexorhallucislongus • Thedistalphalanx of thegreattoe is flexedagainstresistance. • Ifnormal, thetendon can be seenandpalpated on theplantaraspect of thegreattoe as it crossesthejoints of thetoe.

  10. LEG Flexeslateralfourdigits; plantarflexesankle; supportslongitudinalarches of foot Tibialnerve Flexordigitorumlongus • The distal phalanges of the lateral four toes are flexed against resistance. • If they are acting normally, the tendons of the toes can be seen and palpated.

  11. LEG Plantarflexesankle; invertsfoot Tibialnerve Tibialisposterior • Thefoot is invertedagainstresistancewithfootin slightplantarflexion. • If normal, thetendon can be seenandpalpatedposteriortothemedialmalleolus .

  18. Patellar ReflexL3 & 4 A tap with a tendon hammer on the patellar ligament Calcaneal Tendon ReflexS1 & 2 Person's legs are dangling over the side of the examining table. The calcaneal tendon is struck briskly with a reflex hammer just proximal to the calcaneus. The normal result is plantarflexion of the ankle joint.
